(May 26, 2022) In honor of Memorial Day, Sailors from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) placed American flags on the 880 graves located on Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads-Portsmouth Annex Captain Ted Conaway Memorial Naval Cemetery, May 26. The grave site is laid out in four quadrants forming a Greek cross, and the earliest marked grave is that of George Butler, a Sailor who fell to his death in an accident aboard the USS Constitution on Aug. 1, 1838. The cemetery's burials represent not only American dead, but also individuals from Brazil, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Russia Spain, Sweden and Germany are buried here.
